My birth was incredible. It definitely did not go to plan, in fact almost everything went against plan but I felt empowered and tau most of the time. Afterwards my midwife said she reckons I was very relaxed and calm compared to other māmā she has been with over the years

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey and for empowering us with the knowledge and tools needed to bring our baby into the world. The impact of Calmbirth will remain with us forever, and we are eternally grateful for the positive difference you have made in our lives.

I have attached my story of Birth. Hope this encourages and motivates others too.

Thank you so much for all the learning you shared in our Calmbirth course. I hadn’t realised how much I had retained and how heavily I would rely on the learning until I was in the thick of labour, listening to the audios in the early hours of the morning and practicing the breathing. Thankfully I was also able to guide my husband through all the different ways you had shown us to support me too which helped us both so much. He felt more at ease knowing he was able to alleviate some of the intensity of it all.
